Old Red Lion

I booked for 4 nights at The Old Red Lion for our family group consisting of my wife, our two daughters, a son-in-law and our two grand children (8 & 5). We all loved our stay. Hilary is an excellent and accommodating host and communication was perfect. The Old Red Lion felt just like a home from home with a wonderful warm atmosphere…. everything was ‘just right’ and exactly as described or better! Blandford Forum is a compact market town with a lot of interesting history. I always think that if a small town still has a proper butcher and baker… it can’t be bad.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The photos don’t even do it justice, a WOW factor when you walk in. Has everything you could need, Morrisons not even a 2min walk away. Great location for Monkey world/Tank museum/Lullworth Cove & Sand Banks! Highly recommend this Well thought out, Beautiful, Magical, Cosy & Comfortable home. Even the children has some great toys to play with which they loved & entertained them while the adults also had a rest. Thank you x

We stayed at Old Red Lion at the end of July 2024. Old Red Lion is a beautiful spacious and quirky house. Our two sons, aged 8 and 5, loved the twin bedroom they shared which was furnished with toys and books much to their joy. Our 10 year old daughter loved the peace and quiet from her brothers up in an attic bedroom. The house was clean and immaculately presented and provided an excellent and comfortable base for day trips. It was really convenient having shops so close by also. We definitely plan to return to Old Red Lion in the future.

I can’t speak highly enough of this beautiful property and Hilary (the host). From start to finish this was a perfect stay, which provided everything we needed with extra considerate touch’s. Beds & bedding are high quality and very comfortable. Great location just off of the high street, giving easy access to shops and restaurants. Fabulous neighbours who were friendly and informative. I would highly recommend a stay here and will definitely be returning.

Our five night stay at the beautiful, quirky Red Lion House in the heart of Blandford Forum was a brilliant experience. The house is utterly gorgeous and so full of character and history. It is very well equipped and spotlessly clean. All the rooms are beautifully decorated. The house which is spread over 3 floors is very spacious and yet so cosy. The pretty private garden is delightful, and having 3 car parking spaces is a real bonus in a town centre location. All eight of us (6 adults & 2 young children) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Red Lion House and would highly recommend visiting
